Most Americans agrees with Supreme Court on LGBT issues, pornography and parents’ rights

A recent survey has revealed that the ideas of most American adults align with the recent failures of the United States Supreme Court that support the authority of parents, allow states to prohibit transgender treatments for minors and authorize authorities to demand age verification on websites with sexually explicit content.

On June 18, the Supreme Court ruled that Tennessee could prohibit Medical treatments for minors, including hormonal therapy, puberty blockers and surgeries.

On June 27, on the other hand, the High Court ruled that public schools in Maryland should allow parents to have the option of withdrawing their children from discussions on LGBT issues if they have religious objections. He also failed that a Texas Law that demands that pornography websites verify that users are at least 18 years old does not violate the Constitution and can remain in force.

The survey, which was conducted before the failures were issued, revealed that the American public was mostly aligned with the final decisions of the Supreme Court.

The survey was completed online from April 10 to 16 between 2,201 American adults for Yougov for its Scotuspoll project. The survey was conducted by researchers at the University of Texas, Harvard University and Stanford University.

It was found that the majority of all respondents (64%) said that states “should be able to prohibit” that minors are subject to certain transgender medical treatments.

The numbers varied according to political alignment: while 90% of Republicans and 63% of the independent surveyed said that states should be able to implement prohibitions, only 38% of the Democrats agreed.

The survey also found that 77% of Americans believe that schools “must give the possibility” to parents to withdraw their children from gender and sexuality conversations. Most of the respondents of all political parties agreed, including 89% of Republicans, 69% of Democrats and 72% of independents.

Texas is one of the 24 states that has promulgated a law that requires age verification for pornography websites similar to the one voted by the Supreme Court. The survey found that a large majority (80%) of Americans reported that states should allow verification. This included 88% of Republicans, 75% of Democrats and 77% of independents.

Since the Supreme Court ruled in the case related to transgender medical intervention, the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced that it has sent more than 20 citations to doctors and clinics involved in transgender medical procedures in minors.

In a July 9 adsthe DOJ declared that investigations “include fraud in health care, false statements and more.”

In the statement, the United States Attorney General Pam Bondi said: “Medical professionals and organizations that mutilated children at the service of a distorted ideology will account for this Department of Justice.”
